Refreshing Fruit Salad

Start by thoroughly washing all your fruits

Remove the pits from all the cherries. A cherry pitter makes this job easy, but you can also use a small knife.

Cut the melon in half, scoop out the seeds, and then cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the washed blackberries, blueberries, green grapes, pitted cherries, and cubed melon.

Take the lemon and squeeze its fresh juice directly over the fruit mixture. This adds a lovely bright zing and helps prevent some fruits from browning.

Using a large spoon or spatula, gently toss all the fruits together to ensure they are well combined and coated with the lemon juice.

If you're not serving it right away, cover the bowl and refrigerate the fruit salad for up to 2-3 days. Chilling it for at least 30 minutes before serving can also enhance the flavors.
